Al Rivero, Chief Bailiff for District Court Judge John Mendoza, grew up with John Mendoza in West Las Vegas during the 1930s and 1940s. They played together on the famous 1944 Las Vegas High School football team that was so good it made Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Rivero was Mendoza's bailiff for all of the 23 years that Mendoza served as a District Court Judge.
